Bonus Round 4: Quotes

Quotes


SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


An oldie but a goodie—in this round, we draw inspiration from famous words said by other people.


Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES
  • Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
    • Example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
    • The quote can come from almost anything—famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, etc.— but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
    • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
  • Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
  • Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
  • Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Required Work Minimums:

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.


SCORING
These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.


Etc.
If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

me, 15 minutes ago: ok time to go to bed
me, now: i was going to bed but then my hands took over why
also me: i could have written a normal fill but i had to go all hipster and do weird prose poetry didnt i

***

memory is a funny thing, in the way it smooths out friction and contention, preserving people at their best, forgiving the worst of their flaws.

see i remember you best in the mornings, your hands curled around a cup of coffee and your hair sticking up in a million places
but you’d smile at me and that smile would say i love you like nothing else did
i forget you’re like a hibernating bear in the morning, that you hate being disturbed, and you hated it even more when kenma called you at 3am to go line up and keep him company
and boy did you complain, because if you couldn’t sleep, then neither could i
but you rolled out of bed and got dressed and went anyways, because kenma’s your friend, and you’ve been doing things like this for him for years
and maybe you’d complain enough to wake the entire neighbourhood, but you’ll do it anyway because you care that much about your friends

i remember you in late afternoons, practicing volleyball with bokuto despite the fact we’ve spent all day playing and practicing, and everyone else is content to lay down and stop moving
i wondered how you still had energy to do that when kenma looked ready to expire and even lev was ready to call it a day
i forget you staying up late at night to do stupid things like move the furniture two inches left, so i kept bumping into things and you laughed when i cursed you out after the seventh stubbed toe
how later you begged your way back into my good graces, dragged me out for yakiniku and cleaned the bathroom for a month
until you did it again a few months later and i was ready to smother you with your pillows

i remember you before matches, telling us cheesy things that help pull the team closer, make us less of six individuals and more of a team
i don’t think i ever told you how much it comforted me, how much it helped me get ready for a match even though we all complained it was dumb and long winded and unnecessary
i forget the bad puns and the terrible jokes, all the set up for a punchline that made me want to throw shoes at you
i think i served a volleyball at your head once, just for that
i’d still do it again, honestly

i forget a lot how much i love you, in all the small things and the big, in the things i don’t remember and the things i do
loving you is loving the good and the bad, and sometimes it’s stupid hard especially when you’re singing ponponpon again, even though you know i hate that song
but i think i love you best when you’re here with me
